Learning to Love the Weeds – Quote of the Week = Anthony de Mello

September 22, 2012 By Jean Wise



A man who took great pride in his lawn

found himself with a large crop of dandelions.

He tried every method he knew to get rid of them.

Still they plagued him.

Finally he wrote to the Department of Agriculture.

He enumerated all the things he had tried

and closed his letter with the question,

“What shall I do now?”

In the course the reply came:

“We suggest you learn to love them.”

Anthony de Mello
